Well, the calculations for the car and diesel card appear to work out at

roughly £1400 / year.



I *could* go through the hassle of paying back private mileage and

avoiding the fuel car tax, but it`s barely worth the effort. At least if

everything goes on the fuel card, you can piss off to the other end of

the country without having to think about the cost of getting there,

I`m with Richard. There`s only a finite number of things that can go wrong

in the suspension. Some of them are piece of piss to fix, like strut return

pipes, some of them are slightly harder, like the rear arm bearings, as RK

says. But none of it`s really that hard to fix for a pro - find a decent

specialist and they will have done so many they could probably do it with

they`re eyes shut! No reasons why something would `keep playing up`.

Title: GT-R35 かわいそうに。。

I dont find this photoset entertaining, nor any humorous words can be thought up to describe the unfortunate incident. I personally do not know the owner of this car, but i feel for him…deeply. Those who have been jacked i the past should be rather disgusted at these kinds of sights, and should feel a deepened hatred towards those who steal.

The brighter side of this story that, im assuming-

the owner can afford a GT-R, so can afford full coverage insurance,

The thieves will have a VERY hard rime selling the rims (rare)

atleast they didnt take the whole car

-SE

Decided to go home today.  Found my camera that I’ve been meaning to either put on Craigslist or find a friend to buy it off of me.  Money is a bit tight these days.

Went home today to see that there is a deck being built.  I thought it was something super simple, but man was I wrong.

Pretty gnarly.
